Chauffeur Service in Hale
Royale Rides runs a chauffeur service in Hale, Trafford, for homes, businesses and visitors. Every journey is booked ahead. The vehicle, the chauffeur and the price are settled before the day.
Every chauffeur is licensed and DBS checked, and you get the name and vehicle details before collection. Prices are agreed upfront, so the figure you are quoted is what you pay.
Local collections
Collections across Hale
Give the full pickup postcode when you book. Hale addresses and Hale station fall under different postcode districts, so the postcode removes any doubt about where we are coming to.
Roads in the village are narrow in places and many properties sit behind gates or long drives. Tell us about access at the point of booking. Give the property number or the entrance you will be standing at, not just the street name.
This matters most when the person booking is not the person travelling. Client collections and family arrangements both run smoother when we hold a working contact number for the passenger, not only the organiser.
Local pickups in Hale include 15 minutes of complimentary waiting.
Hale station
Hale station sits on Ashley Road, WA14 2UZ, on the Chester to Manchester Piccadilly line. It has no general car park, which is why a booked car is often the practical way in and out.
Send your train service and arrival time, then agree the meeting point with us before the day. Station collections include 30 minutes of complimentary waiting. Facilities and times are listed on National Rail’s Hale station page.
Airport travel
Manchester Airport transfers
The airport run from Hale is short, so timing the collection matters more than the route. Traffic on the M56 at peak hours is the variable, which is why we work to your schedule rather than a drive estimate.
For departures, give your flight time, terminal, passengers and luggage. We set the collection back from your check in. Early flights are booked the same way, in advance.
For arrivals, give the flight number. We track it and adjust the collection when the landing time moves. Airport pickups include 60 minutes of complimentary waiting. Let us know if you are delayed beyond that, and call us if you cannot find your chauffeur on arrival.
Manchester Airport operates Terminal 2 and Terminal 3. Confirm your airline when booking and we set the terminal and meeting point in advance. Wider arrivals detail sits on our Manchester Airport chauffeur service page.
Corporate
Business travel
Journeys between Hale and Manchester city centre are booked as single transfers or as standing arrangements with a morning collection and an evening return.
A day itinerary works differently from one transfer. Send the order of your stops and how long you need at each, and the day is quoted as a whole. Accounts and recurring bookings are covered on our corporate chauffeur service page.
Occasions
Weddings, events and hourly hire
Ceremony travel, dinners and evening events run on the same pre booked basis. Say at the outset whether the return leg is included, since that changes the arrangement rather than just the price.
Where the car needs to stay with you instead of dropping and leaving, hourly chauffeur hire covers it, with a 4 hour minimum and 60 miles included. Ceremony bookings run through our wedding chauffeur service. Journeys beyond Greater Manchester are arranged as long distance chauffeur journeys.
The fleet
Choosing the vehicle
Passenger count is the easy part. Luggage decides more bookings than people expect.
The Mercedes E-Class carries 3 passengers with 5 small and 2 medium cases, which suits most airport runs and business travel. The Mercedes V-Class carries 6 passengers with 3 small and 4 medium cases, so groups travelling with luggage go here. The Mercedes S-Class and the Range Rover each carry 3 passengers with 2 small and 2 medium cases, and suit travel where cabin comfort leads. The Mercedes Sprinter carries 16 and covers large groups.
Tell us case sizes, pushchairs or equipment when you enquire, and we confirm the vehicle against them. Full capacities are on our chauffeur vehicle options page.
Pricing and confirmation
Your quote is agreed in writing before travel and covers the journey and inclusions as booked.
Five things shape it: the route, the collection time, the vehicle, passenger numbers and luggage. State every planned stop before you accept. Additional stops, itinerary changes and waiting beyond the included allowance are charged under the booking terms. Published rates per vehicle sit on our chauffeur service prices page.
